Hi PyTables-users,

I wrote a question yesterday, about which version of HDF5 to use
together with Win32 PyTables. That was when I was still trying to use
setup_tool as prescribed in the PyTables wiki. Later I found the
PyTables User's Guide (very nice user's guide by the way), and here
there was a section cerning the binary installer for Windows. I have
followed that installation (which includes the hdf5) and run the unit
tests and it works like a charm, except that it gives an (expected)
warning that the LZO library is not accessible.

Today I have read about PyTables optimization and it seems like it
would be a benefit for me to actually use LZO due to its very fast
decompression.

In the user's guide there are some instructions of how to get hold of
LZO - it is mentioned that one should place the lzo.dll in the path
and so on, and some advice is given to look at LZO in the Gnuwin32
package

I have now spend several hours trying to find an lzo.dll starting from here

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/lzo.htm

However, the links to sourceforge all report that the lzo binaries are
not there.

Also on the inventors page, I cannot find a working link to Windows binaries:

http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/

Then I had a look at the LZO Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZO

where I found a link to the German "fan" site:

http://www.lzop.de/

where binaries should be avauilable and i found this:

http://www.lzop.de/download/ordinary/lzop-1.01_win32_native.zip

but that zip file only contains an exe file and no dll.

Then I have found a small .net wrapper project on sourceforge:

http://lzo-net.sourceforge.net/

where they also mention lzo.dll (inactive since 2004), but I cannot
find the dll there - they refer to the inventors page for the library
already listed above.ยจ

I did find the soyurce and some makefiles for ver 1.08 here:

http://www.lzop.de/download/source/lzo-1.08.tar.gz

but I do not have a c compiler.

So how can I get hold of lzo.dll for win32?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Kim
